Interesting to consider GPUs as the coal of the AI revolution.

This is worth it for the mental image of heaping them into a boiler fire by the shovel load alone.

I would love to shovel a few in the fire to produce energy for the next generation of overpowered cards while I play old schools games on my $250 laptop
